The melodious sound of a cuckoo bird singing stirred me from my chasmic sleep. I opened my eyes slowly and followed the harmonious sound.
A tiny cuckoo was sitting on the branch near our room's window, hopping on the branch while rendering its mellifluous performance. The morning sunrays were cascading on it like a connate spotlight, making it look no less than a seraphic entity.
The bird stayed there for a few moments, jumping and singing in the blithe, occasionally battling with the harmless leaves. Soon, a gust of strong breeze arose in the surroundings, causing the bird to stop its performance and fly away abruptly.
I was about to shift my gaze from the branch when I saw the cuckoo returning to pounce on a leaf one last time then bidding its final goodbye.
Moron.
If Naina were awake, she would have bitten my head off by saying that cuckoo bird is a harbinger of change, and that it's here to notify us about an upcoming change in our lives.
Well, that moronic bird is late this time. The change is here before the bird.
I shifted my gaze to Naina, who was deep in her sleep, busy snuggling into my chest. Her face was pressed on my bicep while her left hand was wrapped around my waist, holding the fabric of my t-shirt like I'd disappear if she wouldn't.
I ain't going anywhere, Missus.
For a moment, I just stared at her snuggling face, feeling a weird emotion growing in my chest. A feeling that seems like a foreign territory to me.
She started mumbling something in her sleep, causing my gaze to dart towards her lips. The moment that happened, flashbacks from last night started gushing into my mind, causing my heart rate to skyrocket like crazy.
My gaze then wandered across her face whilst everything from our dream-like date, walking and dancing on a random street to our fortuitous kiss started playing like a vaudeville in my mind.
I can't believe we... kissed.
If anyone in the past 24 years of my life would've told me that we'll get married to eachother, I would've laughed at their faces. If they would've added that we'd also be kissing eachother, I may have punched them in the throat and walked away.
But, now, when I have her wrapped up in my arms, snuggling to me like she'll punch me if I go away, I can accept wholeheartedly that this is exactly where I want to be.
Quite cliche, isn't it?
The day I accepted our marriage, I knew we'll have to move forward in our relationship at some point in our lives, but I never thought it would happen so soon.
In the beginning of our marriage, I actually thought that the bond we have shared for over 24 years was impossible to change, and that we would never be able to move past our infamous platonicity. But, God, I was so wrong.
